    I should be able to order the "legend" and the values for each legend category in a stacked bar chart. This is similar to "series order" feature in Excel

    Update 10/17: This is now in our upcoming roadmap and we will share more details in the coming months. Mo

    Thanks for the feedback. Vote to keep updated on progress for this item.

    Absolutely agree, I need the ability to have a custom sort, not just alphabetical.

    Even just being able to have the legend in the same order as the columns would be a significant improvement. It's just an embarrassing lack of basic, obvious functionality.

    RE: Custom order for legend

    Ordering just by the value doesn't make sense in several cases. Even more currently stacked charts are only ordered by the first Y-value and not the sum of all Y-values.


    This creates really ugly charts.


    Please plan this as soon as possible. Thank you in advanced.

    Dear MS development Team,


    Please don't wait for votes, this is a much needed basic feature which a visual should have.

    Your are releasing complex features like Small multiples,Percentile lines, I appreciate that, they are good,fancy.

    But this one is Basic, basic feature and its waiting since 2015.


    Please expedite!!
